I Love My Wife and She Is My Best Friend

Today feels awkward. My confidence at work, a personal strength, is under attack. Instead of focusing on my responsibilities and my success, my mind wanders to the energy and advantages of younger coaches.

Everyone respects what I do, but is it time to retire? Is it someone else’s turn? I can’t wait to walk through the front door and draw into my arms, the one who knows my weaknesses as well as she knows my strength. The one who won’t try to lift me up, but will listen and speak truth; ask the tough questions; and love me unconditionally.

Lovely, lovely post. I must tell you I have a similar dilemma but have least seemed to have solved it by putting a time limit on not retirement but our separation because of my work.

I wish you the absolute best!

@Abrienda sounds like you have set priorities and some accountability. I hope that solution proves beneficial for your relationship and work. 😀

(Glad your not ready to retire at your age! Lol)

@trackman11 I need to stay and work in Saudi until August to earn the money I feel I must have then I will be free to go and I know happiness and she waits for me in Prague in the apartment we both now own. 💖

Your post reminded me of that and brought me much happiness. Thank you!
